... sharks and turtles swimming around and coral on the ocean floor. We were then off to the Buss Light Years astro blaster, this was fantastic brought back the child in us all and was in 3D. We went around the ride on the train and had to use our laser guns to shoot the targets and get point to help Buzz. Haydn won of course. Next stop Fantasy land. First stop here was the Matterhorn bobsleds,this is a ...

... We ended up on these round rubber raft thingys that spun around in a water flume. They did say you could get wet, but I didn't think much of it since nobody seemed to be getting off looking even damp. Well the bloody river must've 'come up' a bit. We were on this round effing thing with a Scottish family who had been on the ride before and kept giggling at us. Hmmmmm I smell a rat I thought, but too late, I'm trapped. Well ...

... had to be structured around a return home at about this time. Karon decided it was time to check out a close place for a haircut, this left the boys to relax and take time out. Obviously it was time to catch up on the blog and a little photo posting, coupled with rest the feet, knowing a further onslaught was inevitable. Well Karon's parting words when she left at around 9:30am were, "if I am not back in an hour you know I have an appointment" Well 2.5 hours passes and morning ...

... instead - what a choice we made. Like the Roger Rabbit ride, you can also control the direction you face, but we had Astro Blasters and had to shoot the enemy and help Buzz and the team save the universe. We had a lot of fun in this one, but after all the shots we took both our fingers were a bit sore. I then went on the "Star Tours" Simulator. I was warned of severe and sudden jolts and to be honest I was disappointed given all the hype around Star ...

... golf and various rides. It also has little souvenir shops, a restaurant and lots of little street traders doing caricatures, sculptures and creative writing. All-in-all it was a busy pier! We walked to the end and took some photos before heading of in the direction of the town. There didn't appear to be anything here except McDonald's so we decided to head back along the beach. We passed the sign that indicated we had reached the section known as Muscle ...

... t opened its check-in counter yet. Which was the case with Avianca (based in Columbia). Thankfully I wandered a half mile from Terminal 3 to the International Terminal (Avianca isn't a part of this) to find a moderate food court. Directly to the burrito counter. $12 for the Burrito Especial, about 1/3 the size of a standard Ole ...

... paid lots of money for a tiny little hot dog - Chris was getting a bit grumpy now, what with paying lots for ****** food, and the crowds were getting much bigger. - Not that big, but big compared to what we'd seen that morning. So we jumped on the train and headed back to Main Street. We grabbed ice creams - which were MASSIVE! And headed over into CA. Now this being Chris' first time out of Australia, and my first time out of ...

... varied so much between counties and states. It was initially a shock then a constant annoyance to have to figure taxes into the price. Universal's sticker prices included all taxes. Go figure! Knotts had an old feel to it, even though it had some of the latest & greatest rides. It has been in operation since the 1920's. Part of this feeling is created because they keep some of the older rides while still bringing in the ...
